Integrated Circuit: <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">12. Binary Code: Uses 1's and 0's to program computers.

<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Spend two day creating snap circuits. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">13. How many circuits did you make? (You need to make at least 6 circuits) Using the snap circuits I created at least 8 circuits which include some of the more complicated circuits that took quite a bit longer. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">14. What was your favorite circuit? Our favorite one was the anticipation of making the lie detector but then it didn't work so we decided to make the radio which was pretty cool. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">15. Did you like the snap circuits? Explain why: I thought that they were okay

<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Spend 4 days making your bug circuit. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">16. Did your circuit work? NO <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">17. Did you like making the bug circuit? Explain why: We liked making the bug circuit but were disappointed when it didn't even work and we tried a bunch of things that still didn't help.

<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">18. How have circuits impacted our environment? They help with electricity which basically runs almost evverything.
